In my opinion its useless to cheat because you learn nothing from it. Most kids believe they are getting away with it but most teachers know their students and what they are capable of. "What gives it away for me is that the writing is so very different from the daily work the student has been turning in," (Marylin)
Marylin is a teacher, she knows her students work and their capabilities. Under no circumstances it is not acceptable because you may think you're doing something juust because you have a good grade but in the end the only one suffering is yourself. It's best to try and succeed no matter how tired or exhausted you are.Overall cheating under any circumstances is ridicules you taking credit for something you didn't do and you will not know what you are doing.
I do not think that it is acceptable to cheat on an assignment. I think that because first of all, you are taking credit for someone elses work. For example, if you are a college student and your have three term papers due on the same day, you should not go and buy the papers. It is the students responsibility to turn in those papers.
nooooooooooo it is not acceptable to cheat on school assighnments that is horrible.
My opinion is that students should continue buying papers because college professors give many assignments and sometimes students have other responsibilities outside of school that have to be taken care of and students may not have enough time to complete a paper so I believe that students should do more research on term writing websites and ask other students about the sites before they actually buy them.
I feel that the papers being worte for students by other people is not cheating. In my opnion it's not cheating because they are etting paid to write the papers, and students who recieve the papers could easily not pay them,take the papers and pass them as their own but they don't. The students are fully aware of what they are doing,so it should be their choice if they want to pay for a paper or not. As long as they have met the requirements and actually turned in their paper on time it really should'nt matter.
In my opinion I believe that it isn't ok to cheat on school assignments. You would have to think of it from the other students point of view, who worked so hard to pass the class. People don't take feelings into consideration or take the time to think of what this person had to go through just get by. Then someone comes along and just copy their work and gets off easy, while this person missed a week rest. That's just bluntly unfair and disrespectful not only to the student, but to themselves. It's like you have a brain for nothing. What's the point of even going to school if all your going to do is copy. Your wasting your time and the staff of the schools. "when you might drop-dead the next minute due to exhaustion." -President Barack Obama
I think it is very unacceptable for someone to cheat on there assignment.I say this because they are not learning anything and they are not becoming a good worker. Then they are not becoming a good worker.
i think it is not right to cheat on an assignment. if you you cheat you will not learn anything by doing that. you should do your own work."Every student has a musical quality to their writing.even if you dont know how to write an essay or be creative you should still try,or ask for help. cheating will not you no where in life.
To me i feel like it is wrong to cheat. when you cheat you do not learn anything so wat is the point. i feel like cheating is wrong because once you start cheating your going to get use to it. before you know it you are gone to be cheating on big tests. and if you get caught you can get in alot of trouble. so the best thing to do is to just study and do your own work
I think in my opinion not doing your work just because you wanted to do something or you didnt feel like doing your work is unacceptable. Cheating in my opinion is not going to get you anywhere and it will catch up with you and disrupt the process of being successfully noticed for whatever you want to be after college.
I don't believe it is acceptable to cheat on school assignments. However, I feel that is understandable in some circumstances. Some students become overwhelmed with classes and cheating is their only escape. The websites offer relief to stressed out students. The sites,"understand the needs and worries of students"(perfecttermpapers.com). Term paper websites are helpful and a good business to get into.
in my opinion it is not acceptable to cheat on school assignments. Some people may feel that they have things going on so they dont have time to complete assignments. some people feel that noone will eber find out. that is not entirely true. "i take a selection of the text of a suspicious paper and paste it into the google search box" [marylin]. that was a comment left by an anonymous teacher telling students that it is in fact possible to see if you are turning in work by other students. that is exatly why i feel that it is not acceptable to cheat on school assignments.
Kiara and Audra,
Although cheap term paper sites offer relief for stressed out students, you get what you pay for. I viewed the sample copies of some of the papers these sites hade to offer. The formats are very mechanical and the language is stilted. The MLA format is also too perfect. I expect format mistackes because my students are in the process of learning it. These papers also do not offer orginal thought or demonstrate that the student has critical thinking skills. I would give most of the sample papers I read a "B" grade at best. All of my students are very creative and can write a better paper than they could buy with a bit of effort. My advice is not to waste your money!
Taylor,
I run an advanced Google search on suspect papers. With one sentence, Google will take me directly to the plagarized paper 9/10 times. The one time it doesn't, it only takes me about three more mouse clicks to find the plagarized work. Each individual's writing is like a fingerprint; everyone's style is unique. If your paper does not match the student's writng style, I will Google it. The student could possibly have to redo the paper for credit.

Nijer,
I completely agree. It is cheating yourself and can get very adictive.
Dekeisha,
I agree with you. It is useless to cheat. Why cheat? You will gain nothing by doing it. Cheating is not challenging your mind, you are just usling someone elses work.
Roger,
The student needs to learn how to set priorities. If you think your not going to have enough time to do three papers, doing when you get them. You could work, go to school, and do other activities and still get your work done. So for you to turn in someone else's asssignments and get credit shows you are careless. Your not showing what you know or how you learned it.
Tarik, i totally agree with you. i dont think its acceptable to cheat on an assignment. you would be taking credit from somebody elses work. you cant always depend on somebody to do your work for you. take the responsibilty and do it yourself.
Jade i agree with your post. I feel the same way that if you cheat you will not learn anything.
Roger,
Though students may not have time to complete their papers, it's still unacceptable. If they don't have enough time to complete their paper they should just priortize their lives. Students are responsible for their own work. Regardless of what they might be going through in their personal lives.
nijer i agree 100% i was thinking the same thing
Javonte,
Getting a paper written by someone else is sometimes the best choice to make when you're in college as long research is done on the people writting your paper because it would be best to to get a good grade cheating rather than failing being truthful.
Kiara,
I agree with your post. Sometimes students have too much going on and cheating is the only option for them. However cheating should be the last thing a students thinks about. The student should attempt to do the work themselves before cheating.
Audra,
I see your view points. Sometimes cheating is the only escape form stress.But only in some cases.
I agree toatally with taylor because if your teacher is going to find out why cheat. Plus just like taylor said yes a lot of people have things going on in there outside lives but thats why they need to manage there time wisely
Candace,
Hi Candace it's Teresa, I just wanted to say I agree with your opinion. I believe it's unacceptable to cheat when all you have to do is write simple essays, reports, or any assignments. I also want to point out that statement from the article about everyone has their own musical when writing;the teacher would find out about someone else doing your work because he/she knows your writing.
